The Cuban Jam with Son Guarachando

On Fridays, Havana’s nightlife comes to the Forge. Come and party with London’s Cuban community - everyone’s welcome! - try your hand (or feet) at salsa or enjoy live music from the city’s best Cuban musicians (and others that have flown in to play).

Every week a different, fluid group of musicians get together on stage, keeping the music authentic but yet with spice and variety. You can also enjoy Cuban & latin beats from in-demand resident DJ Javier La Rosa before and after the live band.


Son Guarachando are one of the top exponents of Latin Music working in the UK today, fronted by vocalist Adriana Lord, who has been active on the Havana scene for well over a decade, having performed and featured on records with the likes of Danny Rivera, William Vivanco, producer Robert Aaron (Wyclef Jean, David Bowie) Eliades Ochoa (Buena Vista Social Club) Vocal Catarsis and others.

- Individually, the members of the band have been at the apex of the music scenes of Colombia, Spain, Cuba and the UK.

- Son Guarachando currently have a residency at The Oriole Bar, London, and have been in high demand during the past four years with club dates, tours, festivals and private parties. The band were recently featured on BBC1’s The One Show.
